Mac Jones ended his rookie season in a slump. What, if anything, does that mean for him and the Patriots moving forward? luchvain dives into what went wrong for Jones & how that may affect New England's offseason plans. FrontOffice33 | GoPats
The New England Patriots’ season has now ended in consecutive seasons prior to the AFC Championship Game. This is a new development for Patriots faithful and might be a glimpse into the future of the AFC East.
The media and fans should temper expectations for a rookie quarterback in the NFL; however, when a team starts winning, high expectations are typically what follows. For a team that was at one point first in their conference, they fell, and they fell hard. The Indianapolis Colts game served as one of the better litmus tests of the Patriots’ talent throughout the season, and Jones and the rest of the team failed to live up to the challenge.
The Patriots are in a different camp than those teams as they are clearly trying to establish themselves as a run-heavy offense that doesn’t want to throw the ball 40 times a game. They are playing to their strengths which makes sense in the NFL; however, teams are expected to win games in today’s NFL by throwing the ball at least 30 times throughout a contest.
Throughout the season, Jones was an average-to-above-average passer when it comes to throwing outside of the pocket and within 20 yards of the line of scrimmage—these are “safe throws.” However, when it comes to throwing the ball over the middle of the field and or more than 20 yards past the line of scrimmage, Jones is either slightly below league average or well below the league average mark.
